I just heard a call for Public Assist at Target
on Blue Ravine around 6:25 PM on my police scanner.

A VETERAN
Whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount "up to and including their life".
That is HONOR, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

FOLSOM (CBS13) Ė A suspect was eventually shot and killed after an attempted bank robbery in Folsom early Tuesday evening.

The robbery attempt occurred at 5:11 p.m. at the Wells Fargo Bank on 1113 East Bidwell St.

The suspect reportedly fled onto the roof of a Target store across the street from the bank and then tried to escape into neighborhood yards before ending up inside a home in the 1300 block of School Road occupied by two adults and two children.

Shots were reportedly fired inside the home. CBS13 Nick Janes reported that the suspect was killed.

Well, it is sad the bad guy felt money was worth dying for. It is also sad that a life was lost.
But in the end I am grateful the coppers are all going to go home some time tonight ( If anything like the Army, they will be signing forms for a long time tonight).

And some people say nothing ever happens in Folsom. Well, I think that makes our coppers pretty danged good. They "never" have anything happen, but when it does they sure do handle themselves quite well.
